Inferno Page #3

So the W.H.O. beat you

to Mr. Langdon, Vayentha.

Provost isn't going to like that.

I know him.

He's going to want to liquidate.

Tell him this isn't Berlin.

He tries anything and I will find him.

Try to reacquire and make contact

in 60 minutes.

Did you hear me? I am not disposable.

Vayentha, get the Faraday pointer

before the government does.

Sh*t.

- Mr. Sims. There's been a deviation.

- Mm?

Sorry to hear that. What operation?

Florence. Our new player

seems to have gone off-script.

How unprofessional.

And now the W.H.O.

has overtaken our position.

Tell Vayentha if she values her position,

she will remove Langdon.

Body not found.

Uh, better yet, a mugging gone awry.

A blade, I think.

Cash gone, wallet remains.

Let's have a quick identification

and move on. Move on. Move on.

Professor Langdon is, uh, out of frame.

And in possession of the tube?

Yes. He has the Faraday pointer.

It was such a good frame.

What is Vayentha's condition?

Intact, but anxious.

She should be.

What in God's name

has this client gotten us into?

- Uh...

- No, no, no. It is rhetorical.

When are we due

to receive the client's video?

It just arrived. His instructions

are to upload it in 24 hours.

I want to look at it now.

But the client, Mr. Zobrist...

The client is dead.

I want to see the video.

That's a violation of our protocols.

We are not the government.

We get things done.

Mr. Arbogast...

...chief among the attributes

that makes us so very good at our job...

...is that, as far as the world is concerned,

we don't exist.

If this video implicates

or even mentions us in any way...

...I want to stop its release

for the benefit of all our clients.

You asked me to avoid abnormalities

in procedure, that's all.

What about Mr. Zobrist

has ever remotely resembled normal?

- Well, I...

- Also rhetorical.

Bring me the video.

In the Palazzo's Hall of Five Hundred,

there's a famous mural:

Giorgio Vasari's Battle of Marciano.

Near the top of the mural

is a coded message.

It's one of the art world's

most famous puzzles.

And what's the message?

Cerca trova.

Seek and find.

And at the hospital,

when I kept saying I was sorry...

- Very sorry. Over and over.

- Maybe that's not what I meant.

The name of the artist, Vasari.

I could have been saying "Vasari."

That's good. You seem clearer.

Yeah. I am.

What's your middle name?

- Well, I am. I am.

- Mm-hm.

Zobrist is dead,

but if his plague is real...

...then this map, it's a trail

he has left so someone can find it.

Who?

Well, someone who believes

the same as he does.

And that's why you have it?

- I don't remember ever meeting Zobrist.

- There's a lot you don't remember.

Maybe they...

Maybe they came to you.

Wanted your help with the path.

- Because I lecture on Dante?

- Exactly.

They'd show you this Faraday pointer,

try to convince you of their cause.

- Mass murder?

- You said you found him compelling.

His argument, his rhetoric, not this plan.

Zobrist is a psychopath.

Well, maybe they tricked you.

Sent someone you knew.

It's a minute to midnight.

- Is that for us?

- Logic would suggest.

Damn it!

Here, come on. Follow me.

We can get there through the garden.

Okay, the Palazzo Vecchio is this way.

We just flagged a car charged to

her credit card within the past hour.

Antoine, did you speak to the police?

Someone saw them running in the park.

Tell the local police that

the W.H.O. needs their full cooperation.

Airspace over Boboli Gardens...

...is under W.H.O. command.

Send in the canine units.

I'm from Uffizi Station.

Commander is sending reinforcements.

Get more officers in there now.

Command one

to dispatch. Suspects in sight.

Damn it!

Delta, check the stairs to the north.

There's a small gray door down here.

It'll take us through to the Vasari Corridor,

right across the Ponte Vecchio...

...into the Palazzo.

That's the door. See?

Now!

Grotto sector clear.

Is the garden completely walled?

On all sides. The only exits are through

the Palazzo Pitti on the north side...

...and through the visitors' gates

on the east and the west sides.

No other way out?

I suppose if you count the Vasari Gate.

But it's ancient. No one knows about it.

Langdon does.

Double back

and take position over Vasari Corridor.

I repeat:
Vasari Corridor.

The professor

has become a liability, Vayentha.

The provost has issued a kill order.

Eliminate Langdon.

Fail and you will be held accountable.

Am I making myself clear?

- Copy that, sir.

- Oh!

There. That's the Vasari fresco.

The Battle of Marciano.

There. There.

Look, look, look.

Okay, see the two farmhouses?

Dead center, up high.

Come down to its four o'clock,

and you'll see a small green flag.

- "Cerca trova."

- Yeah.

"Seek and find."

Seek and find.

We sought it and we found it.

So now what?

The words Zobrist added

to the painting:

"The truth can be glimpsed

only through the eyes of death."

Eyes of death...

Whose eyes?

Aah!

Aah!

Aah. Aah! Aah.

Was I given an injection?

When?

At the hospital, with a hypodermic?

No. You were intubated.

Anything you got came through the IV.

Not at the hospital.

I was fully dressed.

I was in the back of some car

at some point in the last two days.

And something was injected

into my bloodstream...

...and now I'm showing signs

of an illness.

What if...?

What if what?

Sienna, what if I'm the carrier?

Look...

...if you've got it,

then I've got it too...

...and everyone we've come into

contact with has it and will likely die.

But if you don't...

...if they gave you a narcotic

or an hallucinogen or anything else...

...then we still have a chance

to save half the world.

It's worth a try, isn't it?

Professor.

Ah, it is you. You're back so soon.

I have no idea who this woman is.

I almost didn't recognize you

in that suit. You've been shopping?

Professor, you bumped your head?

In the shower, yes. Yes.

It was quite a tumble.

Yeah.

I'm sorry, this is Sienna, my niece.

You're in Italy, professor.

You don't have to say "niece."

- No, it's not...

- No, he's not...

Marta Alvarez.

Pleasure to meet you.

Is Ignazio with you again?

- Ignazio?

- Ah.

Ignazio couldn't make it this morning.

I'm sorry to bother you, Marta...

...but I can imagine you know

why I'm back again.

Really?

Of all the treasures in the Palazzo.

He and il Duomino spent almost an hour

with it up there last night.

It's so morbid.

No. No. It's cool.

All right. Come on,

I'm headed up that way.

He's an extremely resourceful man.

I was told you were as well,

Mr. Bouchard.

So tell me:

- What do you think he's doing?

- What do you think you are doing?

I brought you the pointer,

and now it's gone. You have a leak.

We lose him in the street,

reacquire him at the doctor's apartment...

I can handle boots on the ground.

We don't need your help.

What if he's injured?

A head wound?

What, you think he's confused?

Doesn't know what he's doing?
